Praise for Someone Else's Skin (D.I. Marnie Rome 1): Winner of the Crime Novel of the Year

  • A cracking good thriller, tense and unpredictable - Richard and Judy Book Club

  • This crime novel is excellent at unexpected twists - Richard and Judy Book Club

  • A stunning debut

  • A slick, stylish debut. And one that certainly got under my skin

  • This is a corker: twisty, tricksy and, on occasion, seriously scary - Observer

  • I absolutely loved it. One of the best crime novels - not just debuts - I've read for ages

  • An impressive debut... The book's central theme is domestic violence, which Hilary handles unflinchingly with force and passion. DI Rome is an appealing creation - The Times

  • So brilliantly put together, unflinching without ever being gratuitous and I love the way Sarah writes - every other page has a line I wish I'd thought of myself. It's the best crime debut I've ever read and deserves to be MASSIVE
